From now until April 1st, we invite you to submit a proposal for a workshop and/or a small performance that focuses on writing, storytelling, spoken word, theater, songwriting and composing, etc. as well as bringing in other arts such as visual arts, music, dance and movement. (Don't ponder too long—our call for proposals really does close April 1, 2024).
Here are 10 reasons to send us your proposal:
1. You're a writer, storyteller, musician, performer, educator, leader, or healer who knows firsthand how words save and change lives.
2. You have (or are ready to develop) a joyful, meaningful, life-enhancing workshop or performance you're ready to share with a deeply appreciative group of humans.
3. Presenting is a great way to build the kind of meaningful relationships that grow your reach.
4. You love witnessing others finding and sharing their truest words in writing or out loud.
6. Your work resonates with our conference tracks: Narrative Medicine/ Healing Stories, Social Transformation, Engaged Spirituality, Eco-TLA, and/or Right Livelihood.
7. There's no other conference quite like the Power of Words, and you want to be part of building and sustaining the community of transformative language artists.
8. You're ready to be part of a vibrant group of presenters, including writers, storytellers, performers, musicians, educators, activists, healers, health professionals, community leaders, and more from throughout (and perhaps beyond) the U.S.
8. You've been presenting workshops or performances for a while and you're ready to bring one to the Power of Words.
9. Your body and soul tell you this is the time.
10. We are your people, and you are ours.
